January Dates



Recommended Posts

But omg walk every two hurs day and night! I'M going to ask my surgeon about those shots because loosing sleep for such a long period of time is ridiculous! is there anything else I can do for all the gas in my stomach other than the gas x strips?

Best thing you can do for the gas is walk, walk, walk! When my sister had her surgery, she told me the walking was the only way she could relieve that feeling!

Walking does relieve the gas. All I had to is stand up and I started burping. That was my main way of passing it. However after I was home, I never got up in the middle of the night to walk.

I'm on day 6 if the liquid diet. It seemed near impossible days 1-4, but day 5 and 6 seem to be better and less stomach growling. It sucks though...I had to avoid going to a family party today. I just can't allow myself to be in situations where I might be triggered to cheat. It's not worth it. It does suck though seeing everyone eat around you. I think at this stage, I would literally KILL for a cheeseburger! Lol

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
